Did anyone doubt that the News Corp. split would mean good news for Rupert Murdoch. Once the media Goliath becomes two companies, the News Corp. head stands to increase his direct compensation by 15 percent.

The compensation will be performance-based and will hit in fiscal year 2014, according to a regulatory filing.

"The entire amount of the increase [is] allocated to Mr. Murdoch’s performance-based, long-term incentive opportunity, which will further align Mr. Murdoch’s compensation with the interests of stockholders," noted the filing.

It appears that Murdoch take from both companies will amount to $28.3 million for fiscal year 2014, compared with $24.6 million for fiscal 2013, excluding pension value and "other compensation," such as the use of the corporate airplane. Both packages are down from what Murdoch reported for the fiscal year that ended in mid-2012, $30 million including pension value and other compensation.

Per the filing, Murdoch's "compensation [will be] commensurate to his strategic role ... with a significant portion of his target total direct compensation at-risk and linked to performance." Murdoch will receive a fiscal 2014 base salary of $1 million, a performance-based annual bonus with a target of $2 million and a performance-based long-term equity-based award with a target amount of $2 million.

This will put Murdoch's salary at levels far below the compensation of Les Moonves, who recently reported a $70 million package. In the past week, several CEO's have disclosed their 2012 take. Discovery CEO David Zaslav came in with a package valued at almost $50 million. Disney CEO Bob Iger's compensation was valued at $40.2 million and Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes' package was valued at $25.9 million.
